When I was driving today, I felt like I was put in an “very advanced course of driving” suddenly.
There are SO MANY cars on the road. I tried to be “in a flow”, but I felt the flow seems to be faster than before. I still had a hard time to get the timing to go into the busy highway from the side road. Today, many cars kept coming from both directions. When I drove to the beach, there were so many people on the sandy beach and in the water. I tried to have a “social distance” from people in the water too. However, the waves kept coming and sometimes it was hard for us to control our position in the water! It seems tourists are coming back here. I have just heard this English expression, and I LOVED IT!
We humans pray to God and just do all our best. That is all we can do. There is so much negative news around us right now.
We should not let our minds status being wavered to that direction by those external negative inputs. One of the teachings by Master Okawa is a prayer for the Golden Light. https://ryuho-okawa.com/ I decided to practice this whenever I have a chance. The other night, I imagined myself being a soul of perfect round and bright golden light. I embraced my whole body with the bright light. The night, I had a wonderful dream. I was meditating in the dream. Then, the Golden Light came down from the Heaven and embraced me. The morning, I found myself waking up in a so refreshed and good energy. Onigirazu, not Onigiri, which is a new style and new way of making (easy!) , seems to be popular.
There are so many YouTube videos of Onigirazu! Below is one of them. https://youtu.be/EdICNrqFUxc Just watching them makes me so hungry. I grew up with eating rice and rice balls every day in Japan. I remember my Mom made very tasty Onigiri with cooked beef, eggs, etc. for our lunch boxes. Whenever I remember the tasty lunch, I am so thankful to my parents to feed me and keep me healthy and energetic. The other day, I tried to cook Onigirazu at home by myself. However, I played around and tried to put whatever I wanted. I put too much rice and other ingredients. When I tried to eat and took it, they collapsed. I failed. At least, I started. I will make it better next time! I have been cooking “special omelets” for my husband’s lunch since he stopped eating carbohydrate. This omelet has been getting better to be customized for his taste, I think. He has been getting healthier, slimmer, and stronger. He himself has been working on transforming very well, but I believe my lunch has been also contributing to it :) Yesterday, we did a Zoom interview but found out the person had a different political stance from us at the beginning of the interview, because my boss asked him frankly.
It required more efforts for us to answer and to interpret for me. Generally I have seen enough scenes that lots of mainstream media tend to cherry-pick from whatever some people talk. People need to hear the whole story to understand what the person tries to talk. However, the media often picks up the parts they want to get and fabricate them to make stories at their convenience. The, the message ends up with a totally different one. These actions are very vicious. I have been very disappointed by media, especially many liberal media. Now I am kind of giving up them. I want to believe that the person yesterday was not such a kind and has a pride as a journalist. Still, we had to be very careful how to express and what to share. I got exhausted after one hour conversation. However, when I look back my career, whenever I had a tough work or challenging work, those are the ones which has boosted me up. Those challenging jobs have forced me to study more and get more knowledge. They maybe “opportunities” for us. 🌠God Bless America🌠 mikomagicalisland.weebly.com/ "Let us Get Back Democracy!" https://youtu.be/PB-iN_EOuu8 |
